Students Connect With Educators at Meet the Teacher

Our schools were thrilled to welcome students back into our buildings today to meet their teachers and get acquainted with their learning environments for this school year. Here are a few highlights!

Staff Members Welcomed Back With Exciting Professional Development

On Wednesday of this week, our teaching staff returned for the first of three days of professional development to prepare for the start of the school year. It was terrific to have all staff members begin at Stratford Middle School for a thrilling keynote presentation from author and educator Dr. Tyrone Howard, followed by a carousel of informational sessions. It marked the first time since 2019 that all teachers and paraprofessionals came together in one location!

New Students Explore Learning Environments at Orientation

On Tuesday, our elementary and middle schools brought in kindergarteners and families new to CCSD93 to tour the facilities and begin to feel at home at their new schools!

Printed Handbooks & Calendars Sent Home With Students Next Week for Final Time

Next week, students will be sent home with paper copies of CCSD93’s Parent Handbook and a District Events Calendar. Please keep an eye out for them. This will be the final year CCSD93 distributes paper copies of those documents. In future years, parents will be sent digital copies of the Parent Handbook and be encouraged to follow school and District website calendars.
